All4Pack 2018, another successful show for the Velfor Group

Posted on 10 December 2018 by admin

The Velfor Group participated as an exhibitor at the All4Pack trade show in Paris from November 26 to 29, 2018. This trade show is a benchmark in the packaging industry. Indeed, more than 1,200 exhibitors and 80,000 visitors took part in the show. For the Velfor Group, the 2018 edition was a success, with visitors flocking to meet us throughout the four days of exhibition at All4Pack.

We were able to present our strategic multi-market positioning, showcasing our solutions for the food, retail, healthcare, capital goods andtransportation industries… Visitors were also able to appreciate our new products, as well as all our flagship products. We also unveiled our new technical and technological acquisitions, such as the 5-axis machining center and Twin Sheet technology. This new manufacturing process enables us to produce complex, high-precision hollow-body parts (tubs, containers, cabin roofs, trunk fittings, sailboards, seats, etc.).

This year, we also highlighted the circular economy to which the Velfor Group subscribes. For over 30 years, Velfor has been committed to supporting the local economy. That’s why we give priority to working with local partners and suppliers.

In view of the show’s success, we look forward to seeing you again in 2020!

Posted on 22 November 2018 by admin

To develop its export presence, the Velfor Group participated as an exhibitor at the Medica Compamed international trade fair. This is the benchmark trade show for the medical industry, which took place from November 12 to 15, 2018. Over the four days, 120,000 people visited Medica Compamed. Around two-thirds were international, representing 155 different countries. There were also more than 5,800 exhibitors from 66 different countries, spread over 16 halls. Located in the French Pavilion under the Business France banner, we enjoyed maximum visibility.

In a stand refurbished for the occasion, we showcased our new products (blood bags, urine bags, dialysis bags, blisters for implants, trays for surgical instruments, transport trays…). We were also able to present our new cleanrooms to the many visitors who attended the show. This acquisition enables us to diversify our solutions and better meet the needs of today’s highly competitive healthcare market.

MEDEF and elected representatives visit the Velfor group

Posted on 21 September 2018 by admin

This Friday, September 14, 2018, members of MEDEF Haute-Loire and local elected officials took part in an open day at the Group’s 3 subsidiaries located in Saint-Pal-de-Chalencon.

After a warm welcome, tours of the three sites were conducted in small groups. They presented the new facilities at each of the three entities, in particular the extension for raw materials storage and the reorganization of flows at Velfor Emballage, the new Twin Sheet machine at Velfor Industrie, and the building extension at Velfor Conditionnement. MEDEF members and elected representatives were also able to discover or rediscover our integrated machining center and all its latest features, such as the new DMF 180 5-axis machining center.

These visits enabled all participants to appreciate the breadth of our techniques and know-how, as well as to discover the new strategic directions the Group is taking. Indeed, the Group’s new strategic objective is to strengthen its presence in the healthcare sector, where Velfor has been present for over 30 years. This means offering a more diversified range of solutions. The Group is also committed to providing an appropriate response to cleanliness requirements, notably through the production of packaging items in ISO 7 and ISO 8 cleanrooms. The extension of the Velfor Conditionnement site is part of this strategy, and will ultimately enable the company to significantly increase its presence in the healthcare market.

Product focus: macaroon grouping box

Posted on 27 August 2018 by admin

Dedicated to the pastry market, this grouping and transport box holds 70 to 72 macaroons on edge. It can hold two 35-macaroon trays or two 36-macaroon trays.

The box’s transparency ensures maximum product visibility to highlight the macaroon assortment.

The cushioning system, which hugs the round shape of the macaroons perfectly, protects them from damage during transport. The spacers (made of APET) are available in two colors: black or crystal. They can be sold separately from the grouping box.

This standard macaroon grouping box has been designed to comply with safety standards applicable to the food industry. The raw materials used comply with Directive 2002/72/CE and its successive amendments. Traceability is ensured by identification of the batch number and day of manufacture. Suitable for contact with foodstuffs, its food contact certificate is available on request.

The macaroon grouping box and the two associated wedges are standard products in our range. This means that no new tooling is required for their design, thus reducing costs. Available from stock, delivery times are also considerably reduced.

For several years now, the Velfor Group has been committed to a quality management process. With this in mind, all group companies (Velfor Emballage, Velfor Conditionnement, Velfor Industrie, Lider and Creaplast) are ISO 9001 version 2008 certified.

The ISO 9001 version 2008 standard enables the VELFOR Group to certify its quality management system. This system is based on a process approach to direct and continuously improve the Group’s companies through our sales techniques, combined with our knowledge and manufacturing methods, while ensuring the design, shipment and delivery of products that meet the regulatory and legal requirements of all our customers.

ISO 9001 certification not only validates the existence of a controlled organization to deliver high-performance products, but also guarantees an efficient and reliable management system.

This standard enables and ensures :

Upward and downward traceability of our products
Total transparency vis-à-vis our customers, through customer audits that enable us to keep abreast of market trends.
The Group’s determination to comply with legal and regulatory requirements in our respective businesses
Increased dialogue with customers right from the project development stage to meet their expectations

In addition to ISO 9001, the Velfor Emballage and Lider sites are ISO 13485 certified. This certification enables us to meet the requirements of the healthcare and medical markets. It is also in the process of being obtained by Velfor Conditionnement.

Velfor renews its machine park with a new DMF 180 machining center

Posted on 21 June 2018 by admin

Committed to a policy of performance and excellence, and in order to meet market demands, the Velfor group has decided to expand its machine park once again by acquiring a new DMF 180 5-axis machining center from DMG MORI for its workshop in Boisset Haut.

This five-axis mobile column machining center can produce all shapes and types of tooling and molds. All materials (aluminum, steel, plastic, etc.) can be machined. What’s more, thanks to its heavy-duty, large-scale table, it is possible to machine longer (initial dimensions up to 1800 mm by 700 mm) and heavier (up to 1500 kg) parts.

Its five-axis motion enables molds and tooling to be produced in 2D, 3D and now 5D. It is equipped with a computerized control and command system for easier, more precise numerical management. It also features an integrated tool magazine for enhanced machine productivity.

This new DMF 180 machining center is renowned for its extremely high precision, thanks to its mineral cast machine bed, thermosymmetrical moving uprights and integrated direct measuring systems.

This new acquisition complements Boisset Haut’s existing fleet of four “three-axis” machines and two traditional manual machining centers.

This investment will enable us to meet all the market’s needs in terms of tool and mold manufacture for plastic processing. With this new facility, the Velfor Group is emphasizing and perpetuating its long-standing policy of technical excellence and technological performance.
